14 DAY TRIAL // The interview scored by Endgadget with the Fusion Garage chief Chandrasekhar Rathakrishnan provided tablet fans with some more information on the highly disputed and fought over tablet, which started as a joint effort between the Singaporean company and the TechCrunch team. The interview presents some details on the gadget and indicates that it is capable of iPhone-level games.
Even though the JooJoo tablet became cause for a lawsuit a very short while ago, the project seems to be far enough for Fusion garage to at least be able to give the public some numbers. The numbers aren't many, however, and the interview seemed to be more packed with possible future plans and adaptations of the tablet, such as one capable of 3G, instead of actual details on the current status of the product and when it might become available.
Still, Engadget at least managed to find out that the JooJoo has 1GB of RAM and is capable of 1080p Flash playback and 3D graphics suited for iPhone-type games. The processing power is supposedly provided by an Intel Atom central processing unit and the JooJoo is already built with a side slot meant for future integration of 3G connectivity. The manufacturer is supposedly already working on releasing a subsidized version. According to Rathakrishnan, if a 3G version does eventually come out, it won't be before Q1 2010. Still, the company is allegedly talking with media publishers.
Nevertheless, even with all the supposed performance capabilities of the JooJoo tablet, the actual product is not exactly the most popular of mobile solutions right now. Not only has TechCrunch implied that Fusion garage may not have sufficient funds to actually complete the device, but the product even carries a rather big price tag, no less than $499, mostly because of the capacitative screen of the 12-inch system.
